Husky 42 build complete....

[Landmark]

I posted a last week with questions about this cylinder and how I damaged it with acid. After advice to go ahead and use it I did and here's some pics of the build. Deleted base gasket, squish was 18, did a MM and I have to say this little saw really surprised me. thanks again for all the help.

used the oem cylinder. had a spot under the exhaust port but should be fine according to opinions on the other post I had on it. Had to use a Golf piston
due to the fact the 42 piston is NLA and all I could find was golf.

Got an original part number for that piston?
I've got some husky parts that are about 20 years old, there's a few pistons in the lot.

I found an original cylinder and piston kit from Husqvarna for this saw, the guy is kind of a strange dork, but he's sold 3 of the 5 sets he had.

$250 (which considering that Husky gets about $300 isn't a great deal, but it's not insane either)

Apparently he enjoys seeing his own goofy mug in all of his listings

I Think you are right Neal I had much rather look at what I am buying then his mug.

Hate to say it but just cant bring myself to buy anything from him.

 

[wyk]

I know he used to be a supporter. I run ad block, so dunno if he still is.

 

[nmurph]

I've bought a few things from him. He gets full price for his items, but I don't have any complaints about his service- items as described and shipped promptly. But my gosh, get an avatar...your face ain't all that!!!

When you split the muffler, did you have to use heat, or just hammering in the bottom?

 

[Landmark]

Good question. as best I can remember I didnt use any heat just coaxed the muffler apart. I believe it came apart pretty easily.
